** Description changed:
+ [BACKGROUND] The Ubuntu Cloud Image team introduced xe-guest-utilities
+ to the Ubuntu Archive with Bug #1490624, and was targeted at public
+ clouds that generally use cloud-init. However, the dependency on cloud-
+ init is a false depdency. Users who are using alternative sources of
+ this package will be upgraded to the universe version, and cloud-init
+ will be pulled in.
+
+ Users who are not using public clouds or already have cloud-init
+ installed with be met with a delayed reboot and new SSH keys generated.
+
+ [FIX] Drop the depends for cloud-init
+
+ [TEST]
+ 1. Install xe-guest-utilities on clean install
+ 2. Confirm that cloud-init is not installed
+
+ [ORIGINAL Report]
+
When installing the Ubuntu (12.04 .05 LTS or 14.04.3 LTS) updates I
notified that xe-guest-utilities suddenly depends on cloud-init.
cloud-init installs silently and enables most cloud providers by default (no
interaction with user).
After a reboot cloud-init tries (timeouts) to contact the providers and even
regenerate the ssh host keys.
I have this package installed because it reports the os version etc. to
XenCenter. The dependency on xenstore-utils is correct but I do not
agree with cloud-init.
Wy is this dependency created?
